What do you do when you want to save a beer?

Well you recreate it...

What do I mean. Well this year we brewed a little too much Oktoberfest. So we bottle a little of the third batch, and now we are going to "Spice it up." Adding Cinnamon, Allspice, Clove, Nutmeg, Brown Sugar, Pepper, Ginger and a few other spices we will make a Wassail (name to be determined.) It is going to be a draft only beer, and who knows, maybe it will become part of our regular cycle of beers.

Also today we are blending the hogshead of Pozharnik with the tank of Pozharnik, transferring the blend to the Bright Beer Tank and carbonate it for bottling and kegging next week. And if that was not enough, we brew prep (heat water, mill grains, clean the fermenter) for the next batch of Pozharnik.

Cheers,
